“AI takes Centre Stage in latest Tech Developments”
Tech giants have been racing to harness the power of artificial intelligence and recently announced several new AI-enabled products that are set to enhance consumer experiences.
At Computex 2024, one of the major tech expos held earlier this month, Intel and AMD made waves by unveiling new laptop chips with dedicated Neural Processing Units for generative AI tasks. This suggests that neural networks will underpin many future consumer devices for tasks like image generation, language translation and more.
In the mobile space, Meta's WhatsApp which has over 2 billion users globally, introduced new AI tools for businesses. Merchants can now leverage chatbots and other AI assistants right within WhatsApp to engage customers. It aims to bridge the gap between consumers and local stores through conversational commerce.
And in a bid to stay ahead of the curve, Apple is speculated to showcase its first AI-focused announcements at the upcoming WWDC later this week. While specifics remain under wraps, industry experts believe new iPhones and iPads may get enhanced with new AI camera tools, smarter virtual assistant capabilities and more intuitive software features powered by neural networks.
It's evident that major tech players want AI to augment how we interact with technology on a daily basis, whether through our laptops, smartphones or other platforms. With powerful AI chips now becoming mainstream, we can expect many such developments in the coming months that will change how we compute and communicate.
